Mengarie, the Manchester-based bar concept, is set for further expansion after securing new investment.
According to the Manchester Evening News, Real Housewives of Cheshire stars Seema Malhotra and Stacey Forsey have gone into business together - by investing in the celeb-haunt city centre venue.
The bar was opened at the New Bailey development last year by entrepreneur Karina Jadhav.
The company now has plans to open up to five Menageries across the north west.
Jadhav launched Menagerie after her split from ex-husband James Hitchen, with whom she had opened Neighbourhood bar in Spinningfields.
